Marjorie+Johnson

  On August 22, 1929, 34-year-old Marjorie Johnson died in her home from complications of a criminal abortion performed that day. The guilty party was never identified or apprehended. Keep in mind that things that things we take for granted, like antibiotics and blood banks, were still in the future. For more about abortion in this era, see [|Abortion in the 1920s].
